Want some new struts? What brand springs to buy? How much camber to run? What brake pads? What's the best setup for your situation....

Spring Insulators

Post by BLK96Z »

Does anyone know if anyone one makes replacement spring insulators for the 96 cars??? I am about to drop my car and I bet mine are falling apart after 170K. I thought Gabriel made them but I am not sure. No luck from GM either.

There are only two at this site. You will need to have the strut mount, spring seat, upper insulator and the lower insulator(for the front). You only need the upper and lower insulators for the rear. I had to go to three different auto parts stores to find everything. If you can try NAPA they have a few things. It made it more easy to get what I wanted when I went to GM to get diagram to show the parts guys what was needed. I will have to do this all over again do to the loss of my 90(I now have a 95).

They don't make rear replacements.

I re-used mine several times, they are ok, but the center rubber bumpstops rotted away long time ago. Oh well.

That's the thing, I don't remember. I went to NAPA, O'Reillys and Advance Auto to get everything for the front and rear.

Does anybody have a GM part # for the rear isolators upper and lower for a 95? I found some for the older cars.
